Joe Flacco played at home like he has played on the road. He completed only 16 of 34 passes for 188 yards and threw one of his worst interceptions ever. Flacco twice under-threw Torrey Smith on long passes that could have been touchdowns, and he had a number of throws that were too high. Several times he held the ball too long.

When it comes to offensive weapons, this group has the most consistent performers. Ray Rice makes an average offensive line look better and rookie Bernard Pierce is a great complement. Fullback Vonta Leach left a few Steelers feeling sore.
